About the hearts...

[TheLibrarian262]

It say that red and yellow heart does not need to equipped when reach lvl100. Does that mean the other hearts too, I know it does not says that in the description. Anyone knows?

It's only for those two, and only for the exp/ap bonus.
In the AP shop it tells you what each heart gets for levelling them to 100, those are the same type of bonuses as other items, meaning you can only get it once per item and it is a permanent bonus.

You seemed to contradict yourself a little bit. All heart bonuses are permanent at lvl 100? None need to be equipped?

Not just the hearts, the majority of the items in this game give you a bonus for levelling them to 100 for the first time and that bonus has nothing to do with equipping the item (or even keeping it in your inventory).

For a decent chunk of the items they are grouped by "set", usually the equipments that drop from a zone are grouped like that, meaning that you need to level the full set before receiving the bonus.

You can look at the bonuses and see which items you already levelled in the item list (there is a button for it in the inventory), the items wth a red border there have already been levelled to 100 once and the mouse-over tooltip will tell you more informations (if there is a set, if there is a bonus, if you got the bonus).


The only difference for the red and yellow heart is that their bonus is making the exp/ap bonus into a permanent bonus, effectively disabling the same bonus on the two items themselves.

The set bonuses are permanent. Not the bonuses you get when you equip them.
It just so happens that the red heart and yellow heart have set bonuses that are the same as one of their equip bonuses. If you wear the red heart, you get an exp bonus. If you max the red heart, you get the exp bonus forever as a set bonus. The set bonus overrides the equip bonus, and they do not stack, so you don't need to wear it anymore. Same with yellow heart and the AP bonus.
The other hearts have set bonuses that don't match any of their equip bonuses.

So if i have severals hearts? Are you supposed to gather only 1 heart each or is the bonus stack?

The level 100 bonus follows the same rules as other items, limited to once per unique item and you can't equip two of the same item at the same time either so there is no benefit in getting more than one of each.

Buy one heart, put it in daycare until max, take it out and forget it exists (unless it has some special bonus you want).
